I do have a pdf copy of the audio manual which I can send you if you dm me your email address. I haven't studied the routes of other formats but the book says MP3, MP4, M4A, M4B, AAC and WMA.
m4a is good for me (Apple Lossless) ...

So you are plugging into USB ports in the car and the drives have enough power to drive them... managed through the iDrive interface, correct...?

How many USB ports do you have and where are they...?
